Vertical Grid Lines going crazy

In "Chart settings/Advance settings 2/Vertical grid Lines"
I have enabled. I have 1 sec bars. session from: 8am -11am

The problem with the "session start" or "Start of Trading day" setting is it covers up the first bar and stats of the trade day. Maybe in future versions the "count" can be set to negative, so we can set "Start of Trading Day" (-1), so it starts the bar (sec/min/hour)before the actual start to not have a line running through it.

Regardless, this is what I was trying to do by a work around and came upon this problem. Since I wanted the bar to be at 9:29:59a (EST sec bars), I figured I would put the input "seconds" and 90 min x 60 seconds = 5400-1 = 5399 for "count"
This gave me a vertical line in weird inconsistent areas.

First at 9:00, so I figured this was new math and extrapolated to increase it by increments to get it to 9:29:59, the next results jumped around in no apparent sequence. ie: I increased the count and the bar moved left some times, and vice versa.

So I change it to minutes (although I recall somewhere you said once to use the same time increments as charts if possible). I put the count to 89, then 90 and it was no where around 9:29:59. It went b4 and after, again no apparent reason. Only the "session start" and "start of trading" put the vertical line in the right place.

My session times are all in start to end, no night session or night session loaded.

BTW: I don't use the "Time Line" study because it will not go all the way up or down, only with the data, and that is visually not advantages.

Is this a glitch in this version?

For now adjust the line width and the line style in order to get the visual appearance which does not interfere with the appearance of the bars and use Start of Trading Day.

Session Times have no effect on seconds, minutes, hours, days for the vertical grid.
